Around SBN: Is Adebayor About To Become A Full-Time Spur?

Game 88 Overflow Thread

In a feeble effort to improve the Rockies' pitching and hitting today, I'm doing my part by creating an overflow thread that will remove the foul taste of the first 5 innings from our mouth.

Win please.

Not trusting Dexq

or the clutchiness of the offense overall…or just knowing it had to be a PERFECT throw

by Andrew T. Fisher on Jul 12, 2009 4:07 PM MDT up reply actions  

It wouldn't have come down to Dex

2nd and 3rd with one out. You get two chances to bring them home. I’d like the call with most guys, but CDI (or Helton) are really, really slow out there. It’s the 3B coach job to know his players.

by Junction Rox on Jul 12, 2009 4:10 PM MDT up reply actions  

In terms of base/out state leverage, it comes down to Dex

If Dex gets out and no one scores, then you have the winning runner in scoring position with two outs, whether CDI is thrown out or they hold him and Dex gets out. So the net difference there is Dex’s AB over Barmes

He has nothing to do with it, but FSN and DP make sure to note it every time he starts practically

Obviously it's not because of him

but the hot streak made it easier to give him a chance to get regular ABs. Now that wins are a little tougher to come by and he’s not improving, probably time to give Smitty/Spilly more starts again…

by Junction Rox on Jul 12, 2009 4:31 PM MDT up reply actions  

yes

yes yes yes

More to get Gonzalez regular playing time...

… (he’s not going to learn MLB pitching off the bench any more than he is at AAA), but that works too.

haha nice

Chacin 1 inning 2 K’s and EYJr with a homer nice job rox

by TuLoRocks2008 on Jul 12, 2009 5:39 PM MDT up reply actions  

After EY2 homered in his previous AB - he's had a nice day

I did have to laugh at the announcers talking about EY2 sizing up Chacin’s move to first after the walk. I don’t think it ever occured to them that both these guys are Rockies farmhands and might be familiar with each other.

Now that I think about it, I doubt they have ever been teammates, but should at least have been at minor league camp together at times. Right?
